The new Legislative District for 26 ie. Tripp,Gregory and Mellette and Todd will stand.
Already past Representative of the old Dist. 26 Junke has a petition circulating in a new district( Mainly the old District 26) The Fed court redistricted the area and divided the District into an A and a B part that a resident must be in. That measure means that a A 26 B candidate must be from Gregory orTripp County and 26 A must come from Mellette and Todd counties.The District 26 allows one Sena-tor and two Representatives. Represenative must live in 26 A or 26B .From the two winners in the Primary in A and B, one person will be selected in the fall General election from each A and B thereby the District 26 will have two Representatives.
It still appears to be skinning the salamander of his protective skin, ie. Gerrymandering of the district. I still think that a Rep should have his own District and balance the scale against a Senator District. The editor of the Rapid Journal had an opinion that a A and B division was not needed as the Representative presently live in separate counties some 70 miles crow winging. But he failed to note that in prior elections that Garnos and Junke of District 26 liven about 7 miles apart down the creek. Those two are carrying the responsibility of "racing" to Pierre.LH
